yeah there has been a severe lack on commenting on this one. I have this work log on another forum and its nearly up to 10 pages in length at this stage. Maybe the title is too obscure it should be something like "quadcoreomg8800gtx1337lolcatSFFFTWW00T!!!"

Fantastic work.....boy it was a hard slog reading that lot, but not as hard as the amount of work you put in to that HTPC. Which reminds me, of never going the HTPC route myself. Those HTPC cases are nice looking but boy there an ass to work with.

Mind you, not all HTPC's have an 8800GTX in them heh

Again, fantastic work there and i admire you persistance.

thanks for that, yeah, this experience has really put me off wanting to build a SFF PC again. The wiring was so difficult in places, and this machine is also constructed a lot like the front end of a car, which means if I want to take something like the Optical drive out, i'll also need to remove the PSU, fan controller, both side panels and numerous screws. If anything where to go wrong again with this thing it will be a headache and a half to put it back together again.

Lol, just like my acrylic case. 8 screws just for the side panel, and if I want to put another drive, of any kind, in, everything has to come out! I'm thinking of drilling some pilot holes just for MB side access to screws an d such. This is a great log! I like that imon, the only one they have on Newegg is a bit different, requiring a front panel i/o type dealie, but it still rocks. Keep up the awesome work!
